A NUMBER of Indian films were shown in the India New World View section and festival co-directors Nadja Schildknecht and Karl Spoerri were keen to showcase the best from India at the festival.

There was a huge buzz in the city – film composer and producer Hans Zimmer and actor Diane Keaton were presented with lifetime achievement awards, while stars Benicio Del Toro and Antonio Banderas walked the green carpet (promoting environmental awareness) and the whole town knew about the festival with flags and the festival’s very own distinctive ‘eye-catching’ logo.

The India focus was on independent cinema, as opposed to the “woods” of Indian cinema, such as Bollywood and Kollywood, and curated by Georg Bütler, the senior programmer of the festival.

Despite not ever going to India, Georg was able to find 12 of the best films from the subcontinent. The fanfare for the India section began with a Bollywood flash mob, at SihlCity, a vibrant cinema and mall and there was a deliciously catered India party to mark the opening.

There were a raft of other impressive films – among them was Kerala director Kamal KM’s “I.D.” starring the same effervescent Thapa and produced by Oscar-winning sound designer Resul Pookutty, Nalan Kumarasamy’s Tamil comedic hit “Soodhu Kavvum”, which had a Swiss premiere and played to a full house of mainly Swiss non-resident Indians.

London Indian film festival audience winner “Lucia” (which was crowd-funded and in Kannada) also enjoyed a very popular screening with the Bangalore IT crowd in Zurich coming in throngs to support it.

Often called India’s super producer Guneet Monga was there with “Tigers”, a film by Academy-award winner Bosnian director and screenwriter, Danis Tanovic (“No Man’s Land”, 2001). Last year Monga brought the Indian international hit, “The Lunchbox” to Zurich. “Tigers” stars Bollywood name Emraan Hashmi in his first international role and also features Thappa in a story about one man’s battle against a multinational pharmaceutical company.

Two current films at the London Film Festival(October 8-19), “Titli” and “Court” enthralled audiences as did films that have previously screened in London – among them, “Ship of Theseus”, “Monsoon Shootout” and “Sulemani Keeda” (‘Writers‘), which screened on Channel 4 in early morning today in the UK as part of the broadcaster’s Indian Film Season.

Pawan Kumar is the writer-director behind 'Lucia', the 2013 London Indian Film Festival audience winner. A Hindi version is now in the making of Kumar's originally crowdfunded film, the first Indian feature ever done so
